Drop Everything

It’s rare for me to go more than a day without writing (whether blog, book, or business), but that’s just what I’ve had to do this week. It’s killing me. I love to write (can you say obsession?), and I’ve got major deadlines looming. Yet I had to DROP EVERYTHING for one very good reason…

The show “Drop Everything” (coming soon to a TV screen near you!) was just here filming. What a hoot! I’ve never been on TV before–geez, I barely even watch it–and it was a thrill to have the lights, the camera, and the action.

Now why would anyone want to put me on television, you ask? Well, it just so happens that before becoming parents, the dreadfully charming Mr. Right and I dropped everything to sail across the Pacific. Seems we fit the profile of people featured on the show–not just sailors, but anyone who steps off the treadmill of regular life to live the life less ordinary.

This could be someone who sells the McMansion for life in a yurt. Steps off the corporate ladder to climb the highest peaks. Trades in the SUV to start an eco-resort in Fiji. Whether a year-long break or a long-term life change, it’s finally taking that step, making that move that the show celebrates.

There are so many people out there dreaming and scheming of a different kind of life for themselves. So what makes some people take the plunge? Or–maybe more important–what prevents us?

If you’re someone who has dropped everything–or is planning on dropping everything sometime in the near future–the producers of the show are always looking for new subjects. Drop me a line if you want their contact info.

In the meantime, I’ll slowly be picking up everything that I dropped for the filming as I ease back to normal life. Apologies in advance if my posts are few and far between in the next week or two.

Happily even after,janna
